AJay Irish Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Ok guys, so working with a Studio Creations kit, I am also quite a scrawny guy, so I need to mould the chest piece in at the sides. I’ll upload a pic with this, my question is this: can I trim right back the highlighted lower part to make it a little easier to mould it without buckling it? I really would love to be approved while still being able to do this lol. I need to bring it in about 2cm each side, so it is quite a lot of strain unless I take that edge off.

AJay Irish Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 Sort of solved my problem anyway; am taking a wedge out of the corner 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 That may be a better solution, since if you trim too much off the bottom edge you risk stressing the center ridge and cracking it. I assume you're going to use a heat gun to bend the edges? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJay Irish Posted September 30, 2017 Author Share Posted September 30, 2017 I’ve heard mixed emotions about the heat gun, I think I’m more partial to the water bath idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chopper Posted September 30, 2017 Share Posted September 30, 2017 Yeah, that'd work too. Def go with whatever you're most comfortable with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyeslave Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 Have you tried on the chest piece while wearing the undersuit & vest? I am a skinny guy and had no issue with the SC chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJay Irish Posted October 1, 2017 Author Share Posted October 1, 2017 Yeah I did try it on, it just sat way too wide on me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I ordered an SC kit last week and as i am the skinniest guy i know, i may be having the same issue. Your fix seems like a good one. Will you let us know how the bending goes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
